    From what i have heard is that sometime in 2012 or 2013 they decided to change it... No idea why though. This has gotten many people so don't feel bad at all bud! See if you can send them back and get the correct ones.

    Avoid spacers. They make the truck look cool, but they change the dynamics of the truck drastically. You'd bee better looking at deep wheels.

    As an engineer, I don't quite see the difference, but I've been doing this for a long time. it's not my field. I've also heard of them breaking when rough housing. Talk to @CustomOffsets

    Re: Wheel spacers

    I would love to run spacers on mine. I like the look of mine with the factory wheels just wish they stuck out just a little more.

    I agree on this one. Get some deep wheels with -offset. Much safer and waaay better.

    Appreciate it Polaraco,

    We have guys that have ran spacers for 4+ years and daily drive it year round 50 miles round trip to work, hauling trailers, trailing them, offroading. etc etc. No problems! proper installation is the big thing. We got a handful of guys with CCLBD's running spacers, hauling as much weight as if they were stock, no problems!
